The final crossing of the Old Telegraph Track was Nolan’s Brook, and it turned into one of the sketchiest moments of the whole Cape York trip.
The water was up around windscreen height on the Grenadier, so we spent plenty of time checking different lines and setting up a recovery plan before sending it. Then halfway through the crossing the winch line went slack, the plan fell apart and the Grenadier started taking on water.

Been following since your Kennedy Range Trip when looking for something for family to watch: 'I've found this fellow called Ronny' I told them, 'he's doing our Kennedy Range with friends and a couple of old codgers (your dad Bryan and Torben's dad of course. Forgive me). I lost count of how many times we watched you laughing your way across Deep River Crossing in your Hilux with someone yelling 'Open the doors. Open the doors.' And I won't mention the 'tooth pulling' episode ;) some things just stick in the mind :) like the FLIES on the way back from the Flinders when we all heard 'that sound' from the 79. I learned night photography from you Ronny, and we were Patreons for a few years; have your T shirts, towel, can holders, patches, and I even kept Bryan's signature on one of the parcels for my scrapbook. The things we do! AWESOME CHANNEL!!! We're loving the OTT series.
Just shows that all the planning and experience still produces errors.
The first over is always tricky.
Keep up the awesome work
Though I do miss the simplicity of your earlier self-filmed episodes.
There are too many repeats of scenes from different angles which kind of takes the focus off what is actually going on which should be the star of the show, not the filming and editing prowess.
The rush to keep up with production costs shows and I for one, would like a more leisurely trip without so many cameras and the need for nighttime driving.
Just some time around camp and cooking etc but self filmed would be my preference.
Your silent camping video out of the hilux was a great episode too.

Note: difference between driving it and not, really low tyre pressure as the sand base is not stable
I also tarp up the entire front end to stop water pressure against intercooler, air con condenser, oil cooler plus radiator and fan blades circulate in captivated air, not water. It also assists engine bay from total ingress as long as you keep mobile.
.
In hindsight, you should have realised the winch hook was going to reach the pulley block fowling any of Rapha's assistance, I was saying that was going to occur from the initial explanation of what you were doing.
Bottom line is, you made it, congrats, it's an awesome achievement plus you entertained us all achieving it your way.
